Brighton vs Manchester City predictions
Manchester City come into this in third place with games in hand on Arsenal, but still a point behind.
Meaning the pressure is on them to see out victory no matter what.
But they are bolstered by their squad depth and the fact they haven't got a heaped schedule with more cup games.
Brighton have also been in poor form that's seen them slump down to tenth in the Premier League table.
The Seagulls have won only once in the league since 18th February, with their 5-0 win over Sheffield United.
But since then have settled with draws to struggling teams like Everton, Brentford and Burnley.
They've now lost to Wolves, Fulham, Roma, Liverpool and Arsenal since then and they face a tough run-in as they have to face Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Chelsea and Man United.
Though the south coast city do seem to prefer playing against the top half of the table recently.
📝 Brighton vs Manchester City betting tips
City are still aiming for the title and will be ruthless with their chances this time around. Guardiola's side have won four of their last five encounters and seen out one draw, which ended 1-1 in this fixture last season. But there's always goals.
Over 2.5 goals & Man City to win - 20/23
Both teams to score has occurred in this fixture five times out of the last six, all coming in the Premier League.
While their home form against City is better, they did also lose this fixture in 2021/22 season 4-1.
But they have also seen out a 3-2 win in May 2021 and a 1-1 draw in May 2023.
That was Brighton's first outright victory since 1989 when they won in a Division Two clash.
They've faced each other from 2017 in every season since where City have come out on top 11 times out of a possible 13.
Out of those league fixtures, there's been over 1.5 goals in 12 of the 13, making this ideal to bet on.
City could come out with a rare clean sheet, which is odd to think after their haul of them last season.
But they continually concede with a goal per game on average, whereas last season they only conceded 33 in 38.
⚽ Tip City to win and over 2.5 goals at 20/23 with BetVictor ⚽
Foden and Haaland to score - 3/1
Both Phil Foden and Erling Haaland have a good recent record of scoring against the Seagulls.
They can add to their great goal involvements this time around with the pressure mounting as they sit on the cusp of the Premier League title.
Foden has six goals in his last seven appearances against Brighton, with his only goalless game due to only having 28 minutes on the pitch.
He did play all 90 minutes against Real Madrid last week and Chelsea at the weekend, but if he starts again he could play a starring role once more.
Similarly, Haaland is a possible doubt for this game with a muscle injury potentially seeing him on the side lines.
But if he does start he too stands a great chance of adding to his tally against the Seagulls with three goals in just two appearances against them.
From those games he's also picked up an assist and they just seem to enjoy scoring against Brighton.
